“…Podarcis muralis (Laurenti, 1768) (common wall lizard) is a medium‐sized lacertid, occurring in many south‐western European countries (Sillero et al ., ), that shows a high ecological plasticity that allows the colonization of many different habitats, from urban areas to natural environments, including cultivated areas. The species exhibits a striking colour polymorphism, with three syntopic morphs that differ in throat and belly colorations (white, yellow and red) (Sacchi et al ., , b). They also show differences in body size, parasite load, immunological response, femoral gland secretions and homing behaviour (Sacchi et al ., , b; Calsbeek, Hasselquist & Clobert, ; Scali et al ., ; Pellitteri Rosa et al ., ).…”
